Almost Isometric Maps of the Hyperbolic Plane
Let \(D\) be the unit disk \(\{| z|<1\}\), which is called the hyperbolic plane when the hyperbolic metric \(\rho(z)| dz|= {2| dz|\over 1-| z|^ 2}\) is defined on it. A map \(f: D\to D\) is called almost isometric if there is a constant \(C\) such that \[ \text{diam}(f(B))\geq \text{diam}(B)- C\tag{*} \] holds for any hyperbolic ball \(B\) in \(D\), where diam denotes a diameter in the hyperbolic metric. Denote by \(M(C)\) the set of an analytic map \(f: D\to D\) satisfying (*). It is known that every \(f\in M(C)\) is a Blaschke product. But the converse is not true. So it is of interest and importance to find some characterizations of \(M(C)\). In this paper, the authors give three characterizations. The first one (Theorem 3.1) concerns almost the isometric behavior of \(f\) along certain hyperbolic geodesics. The second one (Theorem 4.1) is in terms of angular derivatives of \(f\) at \(\partial D\). The third one (Theorem 5.1) is by the distribution of the zeros of \(f\). It follows from the second characterization that when \(f\in M(C)\), \(f\) has angular derivative on a dense subset of \(\partial D\). At the end of this paper there is given an example found by Lennart Carleson and Peter Jones that a Blaschke product \(f\in M(C)\) has no angular derivative outside a subset of \(\partial D\) of measure zero.
